Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 59

Kenneth, whose face had been gloomy long ago, was staring right at her, trying his hardest to suppress his anger.

Divorce. It was always only him who gave it any thought; for her it was just a word.

Rachel lowered her head to drink some tea, lowering her eyes to hide her emotions.

After a while, she put down her glass and politely smiled, "Sorry, I need to go to the bathroom."

Hurrying into the bathroom, disregarding the makeup on her face, she bowed her head and splashed water on her face, repeatedly. She lowered her face in the sink, splashing water, and closed her eyes to calm herself down.

When she heard someone coming in at the door, she raised her head and wiped the water on her face looking in the mirror.

Although her facial features were still delicate and charming, Rachel really didn't want to see herself right now.

The confusion and embarrassment of her eyes were clearly shown in the mirror; he would have seen it too.

She wiped her face dry and smiled mockingly at herself in the mirror.

After coming out of the stall, she threw the ball of tissue papers in her hand into the dustbin. Then she took out her make-up pouch from her bag to reapply her make up again.

After finishing that, she went out. Her mood was not showing at all, but in her hurry, she couldn’t find her way back to the meeting room.

"Fu@k! Where am I?"

She cursed under her breath, a hand on her forehead

She felt embarrassed calling Mr. Johnson to come get her, so she decided to find the way herself.

Walking along the corridor, she tried to look for something that might refresh her memory. She saw a door which had similar decorations as their room. She hesitated for a few seconds, bent over a little and opened the door slightly to look inside to see if it was right. However, she didn't see anyone after looking in for a long time. She closed the door and straightened up to turn around. But as she moved, she bumped into something right behind her; she cried out in pain. At the same time, she heard a gasp behind her.

She turned around, startled and found herself very close to Kenneth, who was rubbing his chin and frowning.

With a guilty cough, she asked coolly, "What were you doing behind me?"

Kenneth kneaded his chin, put down his hand, and said lightly, "Trying to see what were you peeping at."

He also guessed that she was probably lost.

When he came in, he noticed that there were many rooms here, all of which were designed in Chinese style decorations, which was absolutely an equivalent to a maze for her.

"You're peeping!" Rachel snapped at him, turned and left.

Kenneth’s heart felt like a current just went through it; he suddenly reached out and pulled her back.

Startled, Rachel glared at him, "What do you want now?"

"How did you meet Ogden Reed?" He asked seriously.

Rachel was puzzled, "How did I met him? Why do you care? I haven't seen you care about me before but now you even care about my work? Why? Couldn’t get me to remarry you, so you thought you could keep me as your mistress?”

His face slowly fell into darkness, his eyes turned into chilled stones, "He is not a simple person, you haven’t met him enough to know that. Keep a little distance from him in the future."

He realized it a bit too late that Ogden was seemingly very interested in her.

Although he had known him for a long time, they had only had business cooperation once. They were not even friends. Since the unstable situation in the business world, everything was blood and war, not to mention his achievements at such a young age.

Even today, he suspected, he was invited here after an elaborately calculated plan.
